Didn't he say that any cabs that didn't sell would head back to the US?

Then spotted this thread over on KLOV about someone picking one up:

A bargain at $100!

Shipping 1 machine to USA cost over 1000euro, so for sure it was never sent back to USA.

After all the mess, I know Thomas had few machines left in Europe. I gave me a list I published here but nobody never took them.
Some people also alerted me about machines for sale in USA that were his.

I guess we will never know...

I've seen one for sale on ebay uk, mentioned here, but unfortunately didn't kept the pictures/details... If I remember well, that one was cut in the middle, almost like a bartop... weird!  ::)

Ully, this showed up in my YouTube stream today. He recently purchased it.. Could it be the one you're looking for?
